The rule was agreed to by the NFL players assn. so you would think Aaron would not be so entitled/dumb as to blatantly ignore a rule that is clear-cut and not at all difficult to follow.
In pretty much any workplace the more important you are the more stuff you can get away with. A superstar qb is gonna get away with more than someone else.
But MUCH more importantly- in the last year and a half we have had a ton of severe restrictions put in place in the interest of public safety. I forget what the term is, but after a while people naturally get sick of it, aren't as diligent etc. When you put in restrictions that are clearly absolute bullshit such as requiring masks when you're nowhere near anybody, you're having a detrimental impact in that people are less likely to listen to restrictions, including those which actually are beneficial. You are people on one extreme who still think covid is a hoax and people on the other extreme who want to hermetically seal 8 year olds for eternity but most of us are in the middle. When any job, business or jurisdiction starts requiring things that are pointless for something important like covid it's completely counterproductive. Rodgers can be wrong about certain things but he's right about this. If you tell me I need to do x,y and z for my safety but x is complete nonsense I'm less likely to listen about y and z because you've lost credibility with x. This type of crap has gone on for the last 18 months and people genuinely trying to help shoot themselves in the foot when they do this.
If the players assn agreed to this dog and pony show then they're at fault too.
